What is Code Push Down?
One of the key differences for developing applications in ABAP for HANA is that you can push down data intense computations and calculations to the HANA DB layer instead bringing all the data to the ABAP layer and the processing the data to do computations. This is what is termed as Code-to-Data paradigm in the context of developing ABAP applications optimized for HANA.
Where does Code Push Down Start?
It is a general misconception that if one wants to do code push down in ABAP for HANA you always need to either use HANA native SQL or build complex HANA artefacts in order to achieve this.
But in reality the Code Push Down for HANA from ABAP can very well start with ABAP Open SQL. Let us see How and Why?
The New Enhanced Open SQL
It has been SAP's constant endeavour to improve Open SQL with each release of ABAP Application Server in order make it the most efficient channel for accessing data in a manner that is database agnostic.
